I scored a 100 on the Postal Exam!
I will recommend this book highly. I purchased it, followed its stategies and did all the practice examinations. I have just received my Postal Service "Notice of Rating." My rating: 100.00. Now if that isn't testimonial I don't know what is. I must share that the actual Postal testing session I participated in had about 60 people. After the exam, EVERYONE claimed to have finished about 1/2 of the first 2 sections. I completed 92/95 and 85/88 questions on each section. Frankly, I blew this test away. Buy this book and good luck to you.

The BEST book to prepare for the postal exam
If you are considering buying a book to prepare for the postal exam.... look no further! This is the best book. I had purchased a diffent book in the past and only scored a 82 on the test. I purchased this book and scored a 98 on the test! I now work for the postal service as a clerk ! The methodes that are taught in this book are very easy to learn. The memory section is FANTASTIC !!! If you buy this book AND practise you will score very high! Good Luck.

Highly recommended!!!
I purchased this and another comprehensive Postal exam prep guide. I received the other exam guide first and started their study program. When T.W. Parnell's-"Postal Exam Training" guide arrived, I quickly saw that it was much more current, (last copywrite-2000); the strategies provided were superior. This guide is also much better organized than the other Exam Guide I purchased. T.W. Parnell's Postal Exam Training guide is the one to buy.

Principles for a Free Society: Reconciling Individual Liberty With the Common Good

The term common good makes libertarians cringe, because they view it as a catch-all excuse for governments to increase the power of the state. America's foremost libertarian legal mind, Richard Epstein, addresses these worries, acknowledging a tension between personal freedom and social goals, while suggesting that they can be mutually reinforcing: "Laissez-faire is best understood not as an effort to glorify the individual at the expense of society, but as the embodiment of principles that, when consistently applied, will work to the advantage of all (or almost all) members of society simultaneously."

Epstein is a powerful reasoner, and even skeptical readers will find themselves slowly drawn down a libertarian path. Principles for a Free Society contains a storehouse of detailed information about human nature and the motives of state authority. Epstein deserves a place on the bookshelf beside Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. --John J. Miller

Very thought provoking
This book could be better organized than it is -- sometimes it seems Epstein wants to give us a complete, systematic statement of his life's work as a legal theorist, whereas at other times he seeems content to think of this book as a series of loosely related explorations or essays.

The organizational problem explains why I can't give this five stars. But I can enthusiastically give it four. The critique of the positivistic jurisprudence of H.L.A. Hart (pp. 50-54) puts more of value in five pages than many authors can put in a whole book!

Another gem by Richard Epstein
Richard Epstein (author of "Takings" & "Forbidden Grounds") offers up this collection of essays on why economic liberty works for the benefit of virtually everyone, while planned economies don't.

Epstein is a brilliant logician and wordsmith who can draw even the most skeptical into his web of reason. He doesn't argue that free market liberalism is best because it is the most moral, but because it simply works the best.

Here he delves into human nature, the motivation for increasing government authority (power & control) and the impetus for altruism. "Principles for a Free Society" is a powerfully persuasive argument in defense of economic liberty and against the expansion of the government.

A must for every civics class
Richard Epstein, a law professor at The University of Chicago, is more than a legal expert. He is a scholar and theorist presenting his distinctive libertarian interpretation of the appropriate role of government in a free society.

In each chapter, Epstein discusses a principle of interest to him and to society. He reviews the balance between the need for personal liberty and common good. Overwhelmingly, he documents the history of our society as one where changing legal/societal standards have reduced personal liberties. To illustrate, he uses real examples such as Social Security, zoning, and organ transplants that show how the changes negatively affects peoples' lives.

I was most intrigued by Epstein's reasoning in his writings about altruism. I must admit that I would fall into the pessimistic camp that believes that altruism is usually egoism/self-interest in disguise)

As he notes in the introduction, the book is a collection of his thoughts and essays over his career. As a result, he does not really tie the thoughts together except for an introduction and epilogue, which emphasize the desire to return to a more laissez-faire society.
